30 Yr VICE Veteran Arrested For Kidnapping His Victims and Forcing Sex

 A Note on Vice: This guy down there is the exception but imagine younger sexy good looking guys trying to pick up straight men in bathrooms or parks. That is what they do as members of Vice in most cities. Under every mayor in NYC, you had this thing happened. Why? Who cares if someone who lives as straight wants to give or receive sex somewhere in private or semi-private. No, they don't have sex in the streets or the middle of the park like some cops suggest. Family men living as straight being bisexual and they are thrown into a crisis with their families. In most cases, the wives even suspect, But it should never be the business of the state like it never was if someone was gay. You had heroes in the military thrown in the brick because someone who didn't like them accused them of being gay. Those days are over in the US but the money spent by the city governments on Vice is money thrown away. To go after illegal prostitution they don't need cops in front of urinals and hiding in the bushes in some park.

Police confirmed he submitted a retirement letter on March 20th, nine days after he was arrested on seven federal charges. A spokeswoman says his personnel file will say retired in bad standing. The 30-year veteran is behind bars awaiting trial after a federal judge ruled he should not be released. 
Mitchell is accused of kidnapping three different victims under the guise of an arrest, then taking them to another location and forcing them to engage in sexual acts in order to be released. According to the indictment, he did it to one victim at least twice. Federal investigators say they are still investigating, and they are asking anyone who may have been a victim or have any information about Officer Mitchell or possibly any other officers to come forward. He is also facing two counts of witness tampering, and one count of making false statements.
Columbus City Attorney Zach Klein also said Wednesday he's dismissed 18 pending cases from arrests by Mitchell. Klein's office is also reviewing convictions of cases involving Mitchell dating back through is a three-decade career.
Interim Columbus Police Chief Thomas Quinlan announced Tuesday night that the city vice unit is being disbanded with its duties handled differently in the future.
Mitchell is also under investigation for the shooting death of Donna Castleberry (also known as Donna Dalton) on August 23, 2018, during an alleged prostitution sting.
Columbus Police say because it's retirement in bad standing, the Ohio Police and Fire Pension Board will determine whether or not Mitchell gets to keep his.
